DANCER OF WEEVIL
IS STILL WITH US
A Wat Yaar Would Result In
Diaoppobsomtnt For Tha
Cara lass Farmar
Raleigh, Dec. 26.—"There is mi
doubt but that our cotton grower?
are optimistic and moat of them ate
t.ot yet much dismayed by the boll
weevil." say* Prof. Franklin Slier
man, Entomologist for the State Col
lege and Department of Agriculture,
'who ie now assembling opinions of I
county agents on this subject for
the close of the year 1928.
Prof. Sherman says, “Hero ia the
county agent of one of our southern
re unties who says he fears the ma
jority of hi* farmers now believe the
weevil's bark is worse than hia bite,
but that a wet year Wouhl ronect that
impression That agent ha* had em
parlance in a state farther mouth and
’ knows bow variable the weevil-dam
age la from year to year and how
-bitter the disappointment of thosr
wh* become unduly caret cue about
’the weevil.
“Here is another agent in one of
the upper counties who knows some
thing of tha duet-poison method who
ear* that durng the 1028 season hr
did not see occasion to urge the ot*
of this method. Hit opinion ia in line
with our usual experiences and ob
aerrations In his eeetiot., but title
same agent goes on to aoy that their
lint bail weevil yc»r ever the whole
county le atilt to be looked forward
to. He hate* to lev it coma bot hr
knows that it will come eventually
"Another county agent of *xperi
once in a section which was due for
only light injury in 1923 wirtes tit
commend the advocacy of the cultu
ral methods of using good seed of
good varieties, and proper fsrtiliaa
ton and tillage. This has been stress
, ed at all our boil weevil meetings in
the past and will be stressed at out
meetings through the northeastern
_ counties in January and February.
. j!"JN llUgl the Bloat completely
'■T'tuk&Ktefy <Mtteeoy that I have yet
well te the eastward where many
; fields were quite severely hurt by
weevil in 1929. This agent reported
V that some fields where no efforts
• ware made to control the wevvil made
-fair yields, but that other similar
fields tears badly damaged by weevil,
the infestation being spotted and ir
regular. AU careful observers know
bow true this is. an how easily on*
may be misled by it. This same agent
went an to say that in fields where
well-eeUcted seed of chosen varieties
arms used side by did* in the seme
field with ordinary seed, and approv
ed cultured methods followed that the
, yield was so much greater as to be
very convincing—and that when In
addition te. this, ample proper dust
poisoning was done the yield was still
| farther increased |o a highly profit
able degree.
“One agent ri marks that a con
' slderefclc number nf farmers ure Io
dised to the idea that a little pois
oning la aH they naad to do to con
tro( waerH-dajoage,—-and their Ideal
as ta how and wban to poison may
be haxy and incomplete at that.
“All of tWe testimony from coun
ty agents of tha Agricultural Exten
sion Service la in line with our own
experiences of 1028 and It should
surely be sufTicieirt to convince farm
ers that we mast yet expect years
iff which weevil injury wll be much
wo me than it was in nut localities
during the part season Tha ads and
reasonable thing to do therefore is
to give etaxtioos Attention to the
whale subject of crop improvement,
tha culture, and protection of the
cotton coop. We ehoulil not allow
ounehree to be c raided away by an
exaggerated idea that one little thing
alone wlU solve the weevil problem.
The boll-weevil meetings wheh we
held each winter are designed to pre
aeut Just such a balanced and com
plete program far farmers to follow.
There should be a Urge attendant*
at all of tha mootings which ere sched
uled far January and February in
our northeastern section."
